Dunnius tridentatus (Xiong & Liu, 1995)
comb. nov.
Acesines tridentatus
Xiong & Liu, 1995: 264-266, fig. 2a-d (original description). Holotype: ♂, Yunnan (Tengchong), China (Kunming Institute of Zoology, the Chinese Academy of Science). Paratype: ♀, Yunnan (Tengchong), 27.IX.1981, Wang Jixian leg.
Acesines tridentatus
:
Rider et al. (2002)
: 135 (Chinese distribution);
Rider (2006)
: 259 (catalogue);
Li et al. (2015)
: 267 (distribution in China).
Type material.
Not examined. The description was based on one male and female each from Tengchong, China and is deposited in Kunming Institute of Zoology, the Chinese Academy of Science as per the original description.
Note.
See the note under
D. laticeps
comb. nov. This species was originally described in the genus
Acesines
Stal
, but similar to members of
Dunnius
in external morphology and male genitalia like the shape of paramere, genital capsule (shape of caudolateral lobes, ventral and dorsal rim) and shape of phallus similar to that of
D. barpetensis
sp. nov. The absence of metasternal notch and the short basal abdominal tubercle, which is not in contact with metasternum (see under the note of
D. laticeps
), which is evident from the description and ventral habitus image of this species by
Fan (2011
: 573, fig. 219). This also indicates that
Acesines tridentatus
is congeneric with
Dunnius
and hence transferred from
Acesines
to
Dunnius
in this paper.
